Live Broadcast game - BS Zelda guy redeems himself.

(URL repair.)

I apologize about not having a single update for nearly a week in a row. This time, though, it's because I've been doing some serious researching, and have been learning a lot more. I will hopefully be a bit more active, um... today! Yeah, I shall probably post a couple new articles.

But let me start with this - BS Zelda, Map 1, Week 3. This is the week we have the ROM dump of, guys. :)

In this video, the boy who could not complete his objectives last week has to backtrack this week to get the Triforce piece he missed, and then go clear the objective of getting the other two Triforce pieces. Sounds daunting, does it not? Actually, from what I've seen, Satellaview games seem to be toned down in difficulty compared to other games...

But either way, here we go.









Only one more to go for BS Zelda! I will then cross-link both this and the Sekiban weeks for you guys.

On a JP website I've linked here, The Satellaview History Museum, they have schedulings for Satellaview content. I noted this one in particular - a program that plays just before BS Zelda;

"☆16:30～17:00 ＢＳゼルダの遊び方 バグポタミア神殿"

Google messes up the translation, but it seems to be "How to play BS Zelda". Is it a radio tutorial of some sort? I'd like to learn more about this.

One more thing; I've been able to find alias for the uploaders of these videos. I am however uncertain of whether they all want their alias announced, due to NicoNicoDouga's anonymous nature. Therefore, I'd like them to contact me so I can request giving them proper credit.

Where's the rest of this, NicoNicoDouga? - BS Super Mario Collection 1

(EDIT: URL CHANGGEEEE)

Back in January, a piece of video from "BS Super Mario Collection" appeared. I was excited when I saw it.



Here's what it looked like...



relatively bizarre, don't you think? First it looks like Mario 3, then it kicks into Mario 1 levels!

... I eagerly awaited for more videos, but it's been a few months now, and nothing's come up. :(

Here's the original BTW:

Satellaview Advertising

When you look for Satellaview videos on Youtube, the most likely results you'll come across are, well, ads.

They're pretty funky ads, too.



This one gets around in particular. Mario In Space, showing off the Satellaview's skills and making me wish for a remake of Super Mario Land 2. Note Mario's Japanese voice from that time: You will probably hear it again on this site.

I do not know what game is displayed in the ad.

The next one is a bit of a doozy.



A 7-minute ad showing off the Satellaview's abilities, with a lot more game examples.

The games featured in the ad include some obvious ones, like BS Zelda and BS Dragon Quest, as well as some not-so-obvious ones, like BS Marvelous.

And then there's ones that, from my perspective, have faded into a bit more obscurity...

BS Satellaview Bass Tournament Big Fight
BS Fushigi no Dungeon: Torneko no Daibouken
BS Monopoly 2

And a few more. These games have not appeared as ROM dumps in my searches, nor have I found much media on them other than a scant few screengrabs. I'd appreciate contributions of info.

But anyway, back on the subject...

There were quite an amount of print ads as well. What I have of them aren't good scans (or meant to be - I took these off auction sites, assumedly trying to sell the ads.), but they should get this job done.
